The European Commission’s panel on privacy is expected to endorse the concept of cloud computing as legal under European Union privacy laws. It will likely recommend (for the first time) that large organizations police themselves to assure that personal information kept in remote locations is protected.
The panel, known as the Article 29 Working Party, is expected to make the recommendation as part of its long-awaited guidelines on cloud computing, which have the potential, some industry experts say, to allay concerns over data privacy and pave the way for wider adoption of the remote-computing services that are more common in the United States.
Cloud computing is on full afterburner in the states, but uptake is lagging in Ireland and other EU nations, in part over privacy concerns.
